For a richer flavor, use whole milk Greek yogurt. Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions. To prevent watery casserole, you may want to salt the zucchini noodles and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture before cooking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add about one-third of the zucchini noodles and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Sauté until the zucchini is slightly browned and softened, about 3-6 minutes. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining olive oil, zucchini, and garlic. (15 minutes)
03
StepIn a saucepan, whisk together the marinara sauce, Greek yogurt, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and the sauce is smooth, about 5-10 minutes. Pour the sauce evenly over the zucchini mixture in the baking dish. (10 minutes)
04
StepSprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Add a light pinch of Italian seasoning for garnish. (2 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. (30 minutes)
